Nurse's death was no accident By Nina Bharadwaj, 2nd period

   It appears that the death of a Texas nurse, Edith Sax, that took place last year (25 April 2014) could possibly have been an intentional, premeditated murder. Her death was triggered by drowning in her pool; however, this initially ruled "accident" may have been staged. The recent investigation into Sax's case started after her family prompted the Houston Police Department to contemplate data revolving around foul play. Sax was found dead and floating in her pool face down with evident injuries suggesting that she was forced underwater. This is only more reasonable by knowing that Sax was a hard-core swimmer that wouldn't have drowned in water only five feet deep.
   The criminal(s) responsible for Sax's murder went through great measures to ensure that this death would appear to be accidental. It is implied that this murderer(s) had a personal relationship with Sax, as they were aware of her schedule and knew their way around her home. There has currently been a $30,000 reward granted by Crime Stoppers of Houston for any clues one may have about this mysterious death.
The large amount of time that it took for this investigation to have any answers, even vague ones, reveals how long it can take for justice to prevail. This creates a slight parallel with how long it took for US forces to capture and kill Osama bin Laden. Ten years after the attacks on September 11th, 2001, America was finally able to force Osama bin Laden to face the consequences of his catastrophic actions. Although the duration and urgency of both situations greatly differ, they underscore instances in which efficient and direct action takes place following a traumatic occurrence after much time. Hopefully, the case of Sax's death can be resolved soon so that her killer(s) will be punished and so family can finally discover the truth in her passing and.

  1. There are very many flaws in the system. And for a reason unknown, the struggle injuries didn't raise enough questions, nor did the fact that she was a very good swimmer take acount either. Why did they rule it an accident, if those two things were prominent? I also wonder why it takes so long for them to revisit cases to prove justice, if that's what they're all about.

  2. Oh how awful. I hope they catch this person. They obviously knew what they were doing if they were trying to cover it up.

  3. This goes to show even how a seemingly perfect plan can be found out in no time. Its disgusting what levels people go to for money and to get rid of someone that they see as useless.
